City is Glass is back with a new EP. It’s called The Diving Bell and you can get it from Bandcamp as a pay-what-you-want download. Below, check out the sombre “Tourist,” which takes the band’s sound into a more expansive, electro-heavy direction than on past works. The enormous, cinematic synths steal the show here.

I wrote about the EP for Exclaim! and interviewed singer Michael Champion about the band’s temporary move to Berlin for the Georgia Straight.

I caught Vancouver’s City of Glass this afternoon, and I’ll be checking them out again tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be able to sit down with them for a quick chat as well.

I’m here for another week, so I probably won’t be updating this site until I’m back home. Head over to Facebook to see what I’ve been up to. In the meantime, here’s “Big Ideas,” a haunting post-punk throwback from City of Glass.
